Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, such as a wire. When the power is off, the electrons are still there, they just have nothing to push then around. Think of the water pipes in your house. If you go outside and shut off the water, the water stops flowing. There is still water in the pipes, but if you turn on a faucet, no water will flow out. In a wire, the electrons are trapped in the atoms that make up the wire unless a potential difference, or voltage, exists to make them move. This voltage comes from the power generating station.

Lowering Your Average Electricity Bill Per Month?
One of the best ways to lower your average electricity bill per month is to run all of your electronics through power strips that you can turn off at night. If the electronics are still plugged into the wall on their own, they will be using electricity all night long -- even if you have turned them off. Power strips have an on/off button that can cut off the charge, and they are not susceptible to this same problem. If a power strip is turned off, there is no current. Doing this can cut your electricity bill by a fifth.

So the phone can charge, but if the power goes out, and it's still plugged in, it won't discharge any faster than normal, since the power has no where to go except to power the phone.
